Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Generalize support of negative string offsets
From: francois@php.net (=?UTF-8?Q?Fran=c3=a7ois_Laupretre?=)

Hi,

I just added support for '[]' on strings and '{}' to the PR.

Examples :

$string[] = 'a'; // equivalent to : $string[strlen($string)]

$string{} = 'a'; // For consistency

With this change, AFAIK, '{}' and '[]' notations are handled exactly the 
same way (the only difference was that the content inside curly braces 
was not optional).

This is not strictly in the scope of negative offsets. So, if you think 
it must be part of a separate RFC, I will remove it.

Thoughts ?

Regards
